Michael Livingston is a historian, a professor of medieval literature and the author of the 2015 historical fantasy novel The Shards of Heaven.
Originally from Colorado, Livingston has a B.A. in history from Baylor University, an M.A. in medieval studies from Western Michigan University, and both an M.A. and a Ph.D. in English from the University of Rochester. He has been an associate professor of English at The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina since 2006. In his academic life he wrote numerous articles on the world of J.R.R. Tolkien, Beowulf, Chaucer, James Joyce and Robert Jordan.
Livingston has published multiple academic works. He said in 2015, "one of the key bits of advice I ever received as a young novelist-to-be was to try to cut my teeth on writing short stories ... starting with short stories was vital to the development of my career". Livingston's debut novel, The Shards of Heaven, was published by Tor Books in November 2015. It is the first installment in a planned trilogy.
Livingston's 2011 collection Angels Among Other Things, self-published via e-book, consisted of nine short stories, including "The Keeper Alone" and "At the End of Babel".
